- Europe ↗Non-EU visitors get 90 days in any rolling 180-day window, counted across all 29 Schengen states together — not per country; the Entry/Exit System now logs each crossing, so an overstay is detected automatically.
- Europe ↗On the first Schengen entry since EES began, non-EU travellers give four fingerprints and a face photo at the border instead of a passport stamp; there is nothing to apply for or pay in advance.
- Balkans ↗Mine-suspected land still exists in Bosnia and Herzegovina and in pockets of Croatia's former front line: outside towns keep to tarmac and waymarked paths, and treat red triangle signs and taped-off fields as absolute.
- Balkans ↗Serbia refuses onward entry to travellers who reached Kosovo from a third country and then try to cross straight into Serbia; route Kosovo–Serbia legs through North Macedonia or Montenegro, or start the loop in Serbia.
- Balkans ↗Hire cars need written permission from the rental company and valid insurance for every country on the line; Kosovo sells its own border insurance and some contracts exclude Albania, Kosovo or Bosnia outright.
- Northern Cyprus ↗Entering the island through the north (Ercan or northern ports) is treated as illegal entry by the Republic of Cyprus; if you plan to visit the south as well, arrive through Larnaca or Paphos.
- Northern Cyprus ↗Crossing the Green Line: carry your passport, use only the official crossing points, and expect checks on both sides. EU customs allowances apply when you cross back south.
- Northern Cyprus ↗Hire cars and insurance from the south usually do not cover the north; buy separate cover at the crossing, or hire in the north.
- Northern Cyprus ↗Property ownership in the north is often disputed; take independent legal advice before any purchase.
- Kyrenia District ↗Plan every leg outside Kyrenia by taxi or hire car; buses are infrequent, and hire-car insurance from the south usually does not cover the north.
- Kyrenia (Girne) ↗Entering the island through Ercan or a northern port is treated as illegal entry by the Republic of Cyprus. If you also plan to visit the south, arrive through Larnaca or Paphos and cross at an official Green Line crossing point.
- Kyrenia (Girne) ↗Hire cars and insurance from the south usually do not cover the north; buy separate cover at the crossing, or hire in the north.
